DeWetsWild conducted a two-week tour of the Kruger National Park with altogether nine people to see out 2025 and ring in 2026 and every day for the month of February I’ll be sharing just a few of the many memories our group collected.

We didn’t get to see many buffalo during the trip, despite them being among the mammals with the highest population in the Park. This was probably as a result of the good rainfall the Park was receiving, leading to a flush of green grass and easily accessible water in areas well away from the tourist roads. It was actually during a downpour that we found a small herd just south of Satara. One of the cows in the group was noticeably nervous and on high alert, and while we never could figure out why she was so highly strung it was clear she wasn’t to be messed with!
